unless your name happens to be Gordon Ramsey cooking could be tricky and
timeconsuming but imagine this a high-tech way of cooking tons of
different meals with extreme precision and nerdy fine tuning without using a
bulky stove it's even backed by Gabe Newell no this isn't a pitch for some
cheesy infomercial product I'm talking about suid a method used by higher-end
restaurants that's finding its way into techie kitchens today so what's so
awesome about this that even Lord gabin is putting his money into it s cooking
involves sealing food into tight bags preferably vacuum sealed then submerging
the food into either precisely temperature controlled water which is
what we'll be focusing on today or steam both for long amounts of time and at
temperatures much lower than other forms of cooking such as frying or baking the
idea is to cook food as evenly as possible without overcooking and while
retaining moisture and flavor this is all thanks to the vacuum sealing process
in fact suid is actually a French term that literally means under vacuum
temperature stay relatively low never getting up to Boiling also known as
staying below 100° C and 212° F these
lower non-boiling temperatures prevent proteins in meat from denaturing and
tangling together resulting in a tender dish lower temperatures also keep the
juicy little cells that make up your food from popping like balloons making
things moist and succulent perfect if you want a luscious steak in fact many
higher-end restaurants have used sued for some time now just for this reason
after after a chef Cooks a steak sued he or she can briefly sear it in a pan
without drying it out or overcooking the inside not only that but the vacuum
ceiling allows things like herbs and marinides to penetrate your food more
deeply instead of just sitting on it like uh partially on a Thanksgiving
turkey okay so that's cool and all Luke but how is this any way possibly Tech
rated well with how technology is progressing there are cool Innovations
in almost any industry even cooking and on the consumer side there are many
modern Sous cookers that could make your old microwave pretty jealous these
cookers can be pretty small fitting onto an existing pot but still feature
full-fledged heating elements and pumps to constantly circulate water and
maintain constant precise temperatures not only that but some can even connect
to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for easy control
and can even send you notifications to your phone perhaps the best part is that
you really don't have to be a trained Chef to use one and as technology
progresses these cookers are becoming more and more affordable Gabe n is even
backing a soused cooker that is supposed to deliver a 1,100 WT heater and an
11-in cylinder just don't try to install Steam on it but is there a downside to
all this well the big one is that it can take a long time to cook something SV
due to the low temperatures it's not typically the kind of thing where you
can whip up something in 10 minutes in fact in some extreme cases it can take
up to 96 hours to fully tenderize certain Meats though most food foods
will cook in as low as 1 to 4 hours or even less than 1 hour for seafood and
some nicer steaks the other downside is that food should be vacuum sealed before
cooking for best results though vacuum sealers are pretty easy to come by and
even squeezing the air out of a sandwich bag by hand will can do in a pinch maybe
all this convenience will bring us a little bit closer to having the robot
cooking servants we all dream of that
being said my food is done so I'll see you guys next
time well back to work for me and possibly for you as well because
freshbooks is on a mission to make Freelancers less stressed and more
organized through their easy to use tool for crafting and sending professional
invoices in seconds which can be honestly one of the most annoying parts
of your job if your job isn't literally making invoices freshbooks also helps
you track down your hours so that when it comes time to create said invoice you
know exactly what you did when you did it who you did it for where you did it
all that kind of stuff and you can even accept deposits through their platform
so your work is paid for on your schedule which is again rather important
they also have a tool to manage your expense reports their mobile app lets
you take a picture of your receipts and pretty much handles the rest which is
super easy and maybe we should get a lotion like that I don't know getting
started on Fresh books is extremely simple even if you're not a numbers
person actually if you're not a numbers person it's totally fine don't worry
about it at all you can try freshbooks for free for 30 days by going to
